Ryan Shea

I write stories and play with audio.
I live in western Massachusetts and work as a UX writer.
I earned an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2016.
I co-edit Cover.
I'm not the hockey player, crypto / AI / startup guy, nature writing guy, or this guy who have the same name.
